Canadians Petition Steve Jobs for iPhone rate relief
Nearly 10,000 Canadians have signed a petition asking Steve Jobs to do something about the ridiculously high data rates that Canadians will face when the Apple iPhone comes to Canada on July 11th.
Rogers claims that its top data plan — 2 GB per month for $115 — is enough to download 16,000 webpages. But users point out that a single Facebook page can account for 1.2 MB, which reduces browsing from 16,000 pages per month to 1,600.
“It’s like they’re deliberately driving customers away,” wrote wolfscribe on CBCnews. “I’ll keep my money, ride out the contract and look for a new provider.”
